What pump do you use to get the water out of the ibc and into the van, can`t seem to find one that fits throught the hole?
Thanks

No I had the same problem, I used a Hippo pump (had the same one for 6 years must be OK) and cut the neck of the tank to make it bigger then sealed it with silicone, ugly but ok

i cut 4 number 10 inch slits into the top of the ibc,pulled back the slits and dropped the pump in.Then we pushed back down the slits till nearly flat and used some gaffa tape over the slits...
another tip is to go down to a pet shop and buy a cheap net,put this over the end of yr nozzle when you are pumping the water into yr van this will collect the plastic bits that dropped into the static when making the slits.
ps its easier with yr mate helping you.

Buy yourself a 12.3" water tank lid
cut the old one out and replace it with one of these then your pump will fit no problemo.

O good find my van tank only has a small opening and have been looking for something like this for ages. ;D

Try looking out for bilge pumps (12v) Gardiners do sell them and they are not very wide....or try an external pump and use the outlet at the bottom of the IBC.
